Activists there report this.

On the roof of a military communication building, the activists of Action against Nuclear Weapons, Onkruit and the Peace Action Camp demonstrated with banners.

The action started at 8.15, exactly 60 years after the nuclear bomb attack on Hiroshima in 1945.

From a later press release of this morning:

At Volkel are twenty nuclear bombs, each of them fourteen times stronger than the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

And now I hand over the Blogathon baton. However, "I'll be back" (Gee, that sounds like Schwarzenegger whom I do not want to sound like ...).
